A METHOD AND AN APPARATUS FOR DISTRIBUTING A BULK ARTICLE

摘要

A bulk product such as cornflakes and similar breakfast products is distributed form the manufacturer to the consumer with at least one intermediate distribution link. The bulk product is supplied by the manufacturer in a bulk package and is divided into subamounts which are packaged to exclusively cover the package requirement until a subsequent division into subamounts. The method is performed by means of an apparatus having a reservoir for the bulk product and dosing means which are adapted to meter and dose a predetermined amount of the bulk product which is conveyed directly to a selected package.
